Daemon Tools 4.0

www.daemon-tools.cc



it fixes indeed most or even all blacklists - however, it is STILL a SCSI-Emulator, therefore it's still necessary to remove present IDE-Drives!

To sum it up:
- NO IDE-Jammer atm - we are working on it! No ETA for it - it's done
when it's done!
- ADWARE INCLUDED - you can, however, UNCHECK that ADWARE at installation!

The changelog for V4:

- complete redesign from scratch
- support of 4 virtual drives
- ONLY X32-supported now. X64 will follow
- Drivername randomly generated on each machine (not finished yet)
- Drive-vendor and versionnumber randomly generated
- Complete new emulation architecture
- DCP (DaemonCodeProtect) to make analyses harder and increase development time for malicious anti-DT tools
- Digital signature verification of applications who are trusted to access DT in secure mode
- AutoInsertNotification fully implemented (can be turned on/off at ControlPanel)
- Dropped: MS-Installer, DT now use modificated NullsoftInstaller
- Dropped: analog sound support (as Windows 2000 and above do not need this feature)
- supports all popular copyprotections

FINALLY!!! I can't even remember how many times they delayed this release.

Since Daemon Tools IS an emulator as well as a very important tool for emulators I'll set up a news item right away.

Edit: Done.

hm.. interesting, I'll think I'll keep my old version though. That adware thing is making me feel a bit uneasy.

[Lefteris_D]

That can only be true only if you blindly hit the "next" button during installation.

It's possible to avoid installing the adware stuff, no problems here about it. On the other hand I recommend to uninstall any previous DT version, although the DT4 installer would ask for removing it. I had a litle problem about that, so I guess it's better to do it first
